Generally I'm only in this area if I'm coming back from town and I can't be bothered to walk home from the station nearest to my house. I'll splash out on a cab from here instead (it's my little £5 luxury every now and again). The farmers market is right next to Blackheath station in the car park. The usual suspects are here. So the fresh fruit and veg, the organic sausages. All the typical stuff. But then there's the bakers and cupcakeries and I think that's where the place comes into its own. They're lovely. The stuff they sell is great, and it's fun to walk around. You wouldn't spend more than an hour here, but if you're in the area, it's a good place to drop into before strolling to Greenwich for Sunday lunch.

When I visited on a very rainy Sunday in April, I had to give credit to the merchants and punters that were actually braving the elements. Despite the weather, there were individual stalls selling quite a variety of products, including cheeses, pies, antiques, cakes, pastries, kedgeree, and even Vietnamese sandwiches. As mentioned, this is in a changing area, and the epicenter of this scene is a fine deli. Nearby there's a place selling crepes, a great coffee shop, and very recently a high-end restaurant has just opened up. Even with all this, the area retains its character. There are still a couple of Carribean food places remaining, several inexpensive household goods shops, a great vegetable store, and a good value butcher. Get down here before it all changes!

Clapton's Chatsworth Road I'm told was a bustling shopping street in the 1930's, with its daily…read moremarket host to over 200 stalls. Unfortunately the area went into decline after the war, but things are starting to change, due to the work of local traders and passionate residents. Chatsworth Road's revival started with a couple of pre-Christmas test markets in 2010, their success has meant that Clapton's homemade, vintage and farmers market is now open every Sunday from 11am to 4pm. Today there are 30 stalls selling a mouthwatering mix of foods, from home made delicious looking cakes, to Japanese pancakes, Vietnamese street food and wonderful smelling freshly baked breads. There are also a number of stalls in a courtyard, where traders sell a variety of vintage and home made goods such as jewellery, clothing and furniture. Its very small compared to more established London markets which for me, can be a bit too hectic for a Sunday morning. Here you can sit with the local hipsters in one of the cafes that spill out on to the pavement, and grab a hot chorizo ciabatta from Venetia's or a breakfast pancake from The Creperie. What makes Chatsworth Road Market unique is its wonderfully friendly, local community feel, its perfect for a relaxing Sunday morning with family or friends.

However, I came across while making my way to the tram stop on the south side of town to get back to Wimbledon It's an old fashioned fruit and veg market but the quality does vary quite widely with commensurate difference in price.

Overall: A great and vibrant place to walk by and pick up some fresh fruit/veg…read more I admit it - I actually miss places like the Surrey Street Market. I didn't think it was much at the time when I lived in South Croydon, but now I really do miss places like this. I miss wandering "down to town" and passing this market and then wandering pass it again on the way home. It was a great place, full of vibrant people, a decent selection of stalls including ones that sold fresh fruit and veg, bags, purses, books, watches, pendants, antiques, flowers, specialty foods and the list goes on. In general, the number of stalls increased during the weekends. As with most outdoor markets, there's potential for haggling if you're into that kind of thing. There's also a lot of trash, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder... keep your eyes peeled for bargains in the summer, such as freshly plucked berries at an amazing price! Towards closing time (around 5:00 pm), there were lots of bargains that could be had: 1 pound for this or 1 pound for that. That is if you can understand the locals, screaming in cockney rhyming slang. There is nearby street parking, but the best bet would be to park near the city centre and walk down. I was lucky enough to live within walking distance of this market.

Marylebone Farmers' Market is an adorable Farmers Market that goes down Grotto Passage…read more I loved that we stopped into Ginger Pig while it was going on because it meant there was seating out front to have our sausage rolls, but we also picked up and extremely sour pink lemonade from one of the gelato vendors. It was fairly small, but could have used some extra water to cut the lemon, so we weren't mad it was on the tiny side. The passage itself had enough space to comfortably walk down and we loved checking out the different higher-end vendors and their wares. Overall I'd definitely recommend dropping by if you're in the area.

Perhaps you even maven it out so all of your friends literally can predict that the punchline of your current sentence will be the subject of your latest obsession...

It's great restaurants like Moro and Medcalf, Cottons and Santore, all of which offer fabulous al fresco experiences on the cobbles under the fairy lights. Gourmet delicatessen Brindisa, Sweet Boulangerie & Patisserie, Caravan, who by the way roasts their own coffee in the basement alongside an amazing menu and cocktail list... it's just good, good, good, on top of more good. It's also the funky shopping like Space EC1, Brill, Family Tree, on top of independent bookshops and record stores. And do I even need to mention the awesomeness that is Bagman and Robin? Exmouth is cute and accessible, it's central but off the beaten path... See what I mean? Until the next best thing, the punchline will always be Exmouth.

Strutton Ground Market is a small street market held on weekdays near the Victoria section of…read moreLondon. The market is named for the narrow cobblestone street that it is located on. It is one of the most centrally located street markets in London. The market mainly caters for local residents and the office population in the immediate Victoria Street area, selling food, groceries, books and clothing, but is becoming increasingly popular with tourists. My wife and I visited the Strutton Ground Market while we were on a trip to London in April 2019. We had just visited Westminster Abbey down the street, and my wife told me about a great street market that we could stop at for lunch. She had studied abroad in London and knew her way around the city pretty well. There were so many delicious-sounding food vendors that we had trouble picking. I decided to order from a Middle Eastern food vender called Falafel Zaki Zaki. I ordered "The Whole Shebang Wrap" which was stuffed with falafel, eggplant (aubergine), salad, hot peppers, pickled vegetables and white sauce. Just as I was about to take a picture of the delicious wrap, the vendor posed for the shot and had me cracking up. That wrap was so good!! My wife found a cool Indian street food vendor and ordered some Samosas and a side of Chicken with Rice. We ended up sharing all of our food and were very happy with our choices. We'll definitely stop again on our next trip to London.

Other stalls were offering fresh coffee, Ethiopian, Indian, North African and middle eastern foods...plus a gluten-free cake stall.
